  4. Performance standards • Each subject has a set of performance standards described at grades A+ - E- • Teachers use the performance standards to judge the quality of the evidence in the students’ work • The grades from the 8 – 10 tasks in the Learning and Assessment Plan allow the teachers to make a judgement for the final school assessment result
